Great dress!

Size worn: 6L

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Formal Affair

I have previously rented a Bagley Mischka with the same material and this one fit a little bigger. Surprisingly this dress was very heavy. Other than that this dress was great. I felt great in it but one size smaller would have been perfect!

Felt beautiful & elegant!

I had a lot of reservations about ordering a dress online w/o trying it on, but I decided to do it and I'm so glad I did! Not only was the dress gorgeous but it fit beautifully. I'm 5'4, 150lbs and curvy and I was nervous about the fit. But it looked gorgeous. I wore 3 inch heels and the length was perfect. The ruching in the middle is a a nice touch to hide "imperfections." No bra needed, felt like it held me really well. Such an effortless process, I'd definetly rent again!

I LOVED IT!!

My boyfriend and I received best dressed and I got sooooo many compliments!! The dress fit perfectly and it was also the perfect length being that I am also 5'9 and wore a 4 in. heel and it still covered my feet! Overall it was a beautiful dress and great service! I definitely plan on using RTR for the next even in the future!

Lovely, glam dress!

Size worn: 6R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I wore this dress to a black tie Christmas party and loved it! The ruching is very forgiving and I loved that it was long, but not so long that I tripped over it. (I also wore it with a very very small heel, less than an inch.) All in all, a lovely dress!

I wore this gown for a formal black tie wedding & aside from the bride I felt like the most beautiful woman in that room! I ordered a back up dress (Trina Turk Pantheon Gown pictured above in a plum color) but it didn't fit me as well as I imagined, where as this one was like a second skin. Instead I loaned the second dress to my friend and took her to the wedding with me. (That's Danielle in the Trina Turk & she was FIERCE!!!!)
Fit: This dress hugged me in alllllll the right places and made my curves pop!
Pros & Cons: The fabric is a little stretchy which was a bonus as it allowed me to EAT, DRINK, & DANCE with NO issues. The small train on the back of the dress is super cute but it did get caught in my heel once or twice (I wore a 4 & a 1/2 in heel), nothing major though. It really got stuck when I put on ballet flats for the remainder of the night, but it was easy to just pick it up and dance the night away. By the end of the night (which was like at 4 in the morning the boning by the bust was a little uncomfortable but then again it was 4 in the morning)
Highlights: It was very appropriate for the occasion, and not too dramatic for a late afternoon wedding. I did wear a strapless bra underneath, although I could have done without it. It was for my comfort and that extra oomph! I wore spanx underneath just to bring me in a bit more and overall it was the best decision for me.
I would without hesitation rent a dress or several from rent the runway again!

Wore it for prom. I was greatly complimented.

Great service, it was a last minute rent and it came right on time!

The dress fit well, it was sliming, which was nice because I'm especially self conscious in the stomach zone. The only down side was the wire by my boobs kept digging in all night. But it was definitely worth the purchase!

I loved the dress! It fit like a glove!

The dress fit great! I ordered the 0R and the 2R...I found that the 2 was a little bigger around my waste and hips and the 0 hugged just right! I felt like a million bucks! I wore this to a military ball and it was great! I could tell it was a little worn from the boning in the top, but other than that I would highly recommend this dress!

I really liked the fit of the dress but I would suggest going up a size in length.

I usually wear regular in length which is what I ordered in this dress but it ended up being too short. I was able to pull it off with my heels but I was disappointed that I hadn't ordered the dress in a long.

I felt so beautiful for my sorority Delta Sigma Theta 100 Year Founders Day Gala thanks to RTR!

Size worn: 12L

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

The dress had great stretch which really helped because the 14R was too short. Yikes, so ladies order the long. I am 5'5 and I wore 4.5 heels and it was a good length. I carried a gold clutch and wore gold sparkly shoes. I paired this gown with the Lee Angel Tie up Crystal necklace and the Nicole Miller Southern Plantation Earrings.
The only con ...the boning was digging in my sides so that was a little uncomfortable.
I wore just a waist cincher with the gown no strapless bra was needed.

It was very comfortable and elegant

This dress is beautiful and very flattering. However, it is very short and I am not tall I'm 5' 6'. I was a little loose in the top and didn't cinch enough in the waist for my taste. Other then those issues it was stunning

I wore this dress for the Presidential Inaugural Ball and I could not have found a more perfect one!

Size worn: 10L

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I looked at other women's photos and noticed that the dress ran short so I ordered a 10 Long even though I'm only 5'4". I couldn't have worn a Regular length dress, it would have been too short. The dress stretches a lot and is still figure flattering. Women who are a bit curvier like me, don't worry about this being form fitting, it is so flattering and extremely comfortable! I felt so amazing in this dress and loved every minute of it!

This dress was simple and elegant but not boring at all.

Size worn: 12R

The dress ran big as noted in the description. I have an ample chest so I was pleasantly surprised to find that I was fully covered and did not have to struggle to keep everything covered. However, the dress was shorter than what the photo indicates- it was not floor length, but ended right above my ankles

Didn't feel the wow factor I was hoping for...

Size worn: 2R

This dress was just okay for me. I ordered the 2R but it was way too big and my back up dress ended up being too small in the bust. I'm 5'2" and the Regular was too short, my entire heel was exposed which wasn't the look I was going for with a long dress. I also didn't care for the underwire as it kept digging in to me.

Great service from RTR. Classic style dress. Lots of compliments.

The dress I ended up wearing was quite a bit worn. The beading was scratched and faded, the stitching by the beading had discolored (possibly from being dry cleaned too much), and some of the stitching on the beadwork was hanging out. With that said, this was still a great dress! I contacted RTR about the condition of the dress, and they offered to send a replacement. I really loved the fit of the dress, and knew that it was going to be dark in the venue of our event, so I ended up not taking the replacement dress. I appreciated how accommodating RTR was willing to be. I do hope they take the particular dress I wore out of circulation because it is in pretty rough shape. I ended up getting a lot of compliments all night long. The fit of the dress is wonderful, and even after having two kids, it is figure flattering.

I had a great time in this dress! It was very figure flattering! :)

I wore the dress for a black tie wedding and received had compliments on the dress all night. What I did not like about the dress was the built in bust. It was uncomfortable and built for someone with a large chest, so it fell down a lot. This was the only downfall, overall the I thought the dress was a nice choice for the occasion and would recommend it! Also, it runs a little big, I was happy I got the smaller size.

Very Flattering but not very comfortable

Size worn: 4R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I loved the way this dress looked as I was so excited to wear it. The length was just long enough with my heels and I am only 5'2" in maybe 3 inch heels so if you are at all tall order a long! The dress was very flattering and the ruching concealed any stomach I got after eating a big dinner.
The biggest problem I had with it was the boning. It poked very hard into my upper stomach and ended up causing me to get terribly painful hiccups all night and I felt pretty sick from the pressure of it on me by the end of the night. It may just have been that I needed to order a smaller size so the dress would stay in place better but the boning was very problematic for whatever reason.

Comfy stunner

Size worn: 12L

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Wedding

It wasn't much to look at on the hanger, but this is the kind of dress that is "guy hot" not "girl cute". My boyfriend adored me all night, and other guests called us Bond & Vesper. I ordered this as my back up and to be safe picked a size 12. However, the material was very, very stretchy and I guess all of my diet and exercise has paid off as I think I would have been better off in a 10 or even 8 and had to spend all night pulling the dress up.
Edit: I remember now that I got a 12 b/c the stylist fit info says to size up for length if you're curvy. I wore a less-tall pair of heels and the length was perfect, but do consider sizing up for length and make sure to wear a strapless underneath.

A simple and timeless look I loved

Size worn: 0R

Overall fit: True to Size

To be honest, I wasn't entirely too crazy about this dress, being as I got asked to prom last minute and didn't have as large of a pool of choices for a dress; it was just a little bit too boring for me and the bust wasn't as flattering as I would have liked (but hey, the dress couldn't help it, not many dresses do flatter my tiny bust). But none the less I chose this number because I admired the simplicity and classic timelessness it carries and will carry for many generations to come. I loved the tiny bead detailing along the bust line that brought attention to my bust, but wasn't crazily yelling 'look at me!' The only problems I had this dress was that there was a wire sticking out right under my armpit, which I tried to cover with a piece of tape, but to no luck I was continuously poked and prodded all night. It was also a lot shorter than I had anticipated, especially since I'm only 5'2, but I wasn't too entirely bothered that it showed my feet (although I would have preferred it not to) so if you also don't want your shoes to show I would suggest either getting a long, or wearing no more than a 3 inch heel if you are over 5'4. But over all I did enjoy this dress, and I can't wait to rent from RTR again :)

Beautiful and Elegant- Fit well.

I wanted to wear a gown that still showed my figure and curves. I did not want the gown to look like a sheet. This dress was perfect. It was simple. The fabric was really heavy and elegant but it made it full to pull up and dance with. It was my first time renting/wearing a gown and I LOVED it. I rented a few dresses to pick from, but this was my favorite!

One girl told me that I was the most elegantly dressed guest she had seen enter the gala!

I apologize for the blurriness of the picture, but that was the only full length picture I could find. The dress did fit well, but the ruching bunched up a bit in the back no matter what I did, which was a bit annoying. Also, the structure of the bust seemed a bit odd to me when I first tried it on, but judging from the pictures I have, once the dress settled, it fit just fine. It was a very comfortable dress, and the length was just right. I didn't anticipate how busty it would make me seem, but it wasn't obscene or anything. Overall, I liked the dress, but a few minor things kept it from being really great for me.

Great dress, but I loved another one!

I chose this dress as my first pick, adding a smaller size as the back up. Then, I added on a second dress in a different design. I usually wear a 10, but the 8 was big on me! The dress stretches, which is probably good after a few cocktails and dinner. I had a hard time picking between this and another dress in blue, but the blue won out. I think this is a great classic dress for any formal occassion.

The dress is so stunning, it practically wears itself! I barely needed makeup or extra accessories.

Beautiful dress! The 0 was smaller than I expected- I couldn't zip it over my rib cage. Luckily, the 2 fit beautifully. The beading at the top is pretty but not too flashy. The rouching over the torso and rear was perfect- my stomach looked flat, and no panty lines! I got tons of compliments.

I Felt So BEAUTIFUL !

I wore this dress for my senior ball, it wasn't my first choice but i was happy with the results. I am also a first time renter.
PROS; The 12L went past the floor which is Exactly what I wanted being that I am 5'8 & have curves. I didn't need a bra as one was built in and it looked just like the photo so there were no surprises.
CONS; The ribbing in the dress made me look a tad bit wider but not significantly, and the fact that i have small bust size made the dress fall down , some but with double sided tape it was an easy fix. I also had a 10L . It fit so great but if your tall like me the 12L is your best bet.
Over all I was EXTREMELY pleased with the service and product !

This dress is smokin' hot. It hugged my curves in all the right places. It's hard to see the beautiful details of this dress in photos. The rouching along the front and the booty give it some extra wow, and the beading at the bustline gives it a pop. It definitely runs shorter than I expected. I got a long and it still barely skimmed the floor. Definitely would be problematic for taller girls. I'm typically a 10, but the material has some give so I went with the 8. Love love love this dress. The worst part was having to give it back!

I wore this to a black tie wedding and I felt so elegant! I really think you can't go wrong with this dress, no matter your body type. I will say that I wish I had gotten the regular length rather than long -- I ordered the long because I was wearing about 3-inch heels and reviews said to go long in that case, but I still found it TOO long. Even though I ended up wearing the smaller size (and I suggest ordering smaller), it still felt a little bit too long and I was occasionally worried I'd trip over it -- so I personally think that unless you're planning on wearing higher than 4 inch heels or have long legs, go regular length. Also, the emerald earrings were perfect -- I think I got more compliments on those than the dress!

I received so many compliments on this dress. I wore it to a black tie affair fundraiser for work.

I work this dress to a black tie fundraiser for work and I felt great in it. It was not revealing at all, but very classy and timeless. I received so many compliments on my dress and I felt extremely comfortable the whole night. In fact the President of my organization gave me such a high compliment that he forced the photographer to take our picture and get the full dress in the picture! I am typically a size 0, but the 0R was a tad to short with my 4in heels. I'm 5'5", so I ended up wearing the 2R which was a bit longer and was the prefect length with my heels. It was a smidge loose on the top, because I have a small bust, but not enough to be noticed or uncomfortable. I loved wearing this dress and hated having to return it. It was the perfect dress for a work event! I will definitely be using this site again.

This dress fit perfectly! It was super comfortable and I had no problem keeping the strapless up!

This dress fit great! I usually have problems with strapless dresses - but the top of this dress fit perfectly and stayed up on it's own (didn't have to keep adjusting or pulling up!). The stretchy material of this dress made is so comfortable too. I was really happy I went with this dress. It also was a great length for someone a little shorter (5'3)...worked well with my heels but also was ok when I took them off.
